PlayStation Vita will be in gamers hands by the end of February, SCE revealed today.

The successor to the PSP is landing in Japan before Christmas, but Western gamers still didn’t know of an official launch date. Also, although US & Europe had pricing confirmed at E3, PlayStation fans from Britain, Australia and Canada still hadn’t had the cost of the new handheld confirmed.

The portable device currently has over 100 titles in production, including the likes of Call of Duty, Resistance, Little Big Planet, FIFA and Assassins Creed. Here is the full worldwide release schedule, along with pricing:

“PlayStation Vita will redefine traditional boundaries of gaming and blur the lines between entertainment and reality.
